Edit- read the comments in his YouTube video, on 2003 and up models the push button to release the assembly is 180 degrees from the 2002 and lower models, it’s directly on top.

Well not sure if this project is needed on 2003 and up models, I pulled my cam assembly out and it’s identical to the new part from Toyota..
The original part is stamped 2061B, the new one stamped 2061A
(New user first post) Has anyone that has fixed this run into the car not starting after the new part is installed? Followed the YT vid to a T but the car doesn’t want to turn over for some reason
Any help appreciated

Since the bottom of that barrel engages the rotary switch with the ignition circuit contacts, if the key turns ask the way then I would probably start there. I was able to replace that rotary switch from the bottom (I think I followed something earlier in this thread?), which might be easier to see pull it off to what's going on.
Thanks - took a look at that but ended up not being the issue; had to re-attach the little black key cover (didn't see the wire running to the starter at first).
Running great!
Hi everyone, the ignition rod broke on my 1999 LX470 (electronic tilt). I've removed the broken piece, ordered the 7853B part from amazon, swapped that metal 'tongue' and 1 little spring, put it back together and this is how it works (see video).
- The wheel doesn't lock even without a key
- Car starts, but you need to jiggle the key for a while
I've tried to remove the new part and spent over 5 hours with no success!! Any tips? I'm a bit frustrated to say the least. Thanks!
HELP!!!!
Anyone know the replacement part for 2075 B. It belongs to a 2004 RX 330. I can’t find it anywhere but the rod broke in the exact same spot as these photos. An eBay search keeps taking me to 7850 B. They look similar, any one know if I can use this part?

Does anyone know if you absolutely need to loosen the two rear screws? Not sure how that affects pulling out the broken piece. Is there anything holding the broken piece in besides the slide piece?
When you look down the tube there's a spring loaded part on the right side that you have to move out of the way with a screw driver, I think loosening the screws in the back allows for that to be depressed even farther?
I'm pulling mine apart now so I guess I'll find out.
Update: I ended up pulling the switch off entirely because I had so much trouble getting the broken piece out. It's really not that bad with the little screws if you get the ac duct out of the way, it's only 1 screw and the duct pops right out. Removing the switch made the whole job a lot easier for me
At least it broke this morning BEFORE I hit the trail. The bad part is that we have street sweeping tomorrow and I'm gonna get an $80 ticket
. Still better than the time my heater T disintegrated in the middle of death valley, or the time my steering rack cracked in half in the middle of the Mojave. I think this might be the best breakdown I've had!!!

I've read about this issue before and I'm really tempted to go ahead and spend the money to have it on-hand... seems like the current sale is the time to do it (price shown at Serra Birmingham). Someone posted above with two part numbers depending on manual or electric tilt... assuming the latter is applicable to the LX with electric tilt? The Toyota application is listed as '03+ Land Cruiser, having trouble verifying the correct PN for the LX.
